Tang Huai stayed in Shuanglong Village for a total of thirteen days.
She had requested leave from her homeroom teacher Zhou Xiaoshu for seven days.
After thirteen days, she was called to the principal's office by Principal Liu and was then informed that she had been expelled!
Tang Huai was shocked: "Expelled?!"
Principal Liu, looking embarrassed, said, "This decision was made collectively by the school's administrators. Tang Huai, you often take leave, skip classes, and play truant, which has started to affect other students. I wanted to keep you, but the other leaders wouldn't allow it."
Principal Liu managed all departments of the school but did not directly handle student affairs.
Such matters like expelling students and managing student conduct were the responsibilities of the academic affairs department and the student affairs department.
However, Tang Huai was personally recruited by Principal Liu, and it was a high-profile recruitment.
